►
Bladder.► Pains in
bladder, [12]. ► Extremely distressing tenesmus vesicæ,
commencing with tickling in the fossa navicularis, obliging him to
urinate very frequently (sixteen times a day, on the previous day only
ten times, passing from 1 to 2 ounces at a time); this became very
severe, and from 7 to 10 P.M. was associated with a tormenting tenesmus
recti in the evening (third day), [14a].
► Urethra.► (Gonorrha) mucous discharges from the
urethra after a chill, [1]. ► (When urinating, burning pain in urethra,
as if the urine was hot), [1]. [420.]►
Slight soreness in urethra when urinating, [12]. ►
Tickling in the urethra, especially in the fossa navicularis, in the
afternoon; this is associated with urging to urinate (fifth day), [13]. ►
Sensation of tickling in the urethra, gradually extending along the
whole urethra, on commencing to urinate, continuing for several seconds
afterwards; this increased during the subsequent days, and during the
whole proving was associated with persistent and unusually frequent
desire to urinate, with no noticeable increase of the quantity of urine
passed daily, [15]. ► *Continual desire to urinate, with pain in
liver, chest, and kidneys, [12].
► *Urging to urinate, with tickling in
the urethra extending to the neck of the bladder (sixth day),
[13]. ►
Urging to urinate continues from the fifth day, during the proving, [13]. ►
Urging to urinate seldom, with unusually frequent micturition, [17]. ►
Urging to urinate entirely absent during the night, but
occurring regularly during the day, about 8 A.M. and towards 5 P.M.,
lasting two or three hours very severely, relieved while sitting and
lying, but when walking becoming intolerably aggravated, reaching its
greatest severity on the seventh day (sometimes occurring every five or
ten minutes), continuing during the eighth and ninth days (when omitting
the medicine), and after the total suspension of the medicine it quite
speedily disappeared, although it could still be felt after fourteen
days; the character of the trouble varied somewhat, since it became more
and more plainly a neuralgic affection; usually there appeared twice in
the day, between 8 and 9 A.M. and 6 and 7 P.M., a sensation of tickling
and warmth in the glans penis, which was associated with an irresistible
desire to urinate, and, on urinating, as soon as the urine reached the
glans, there was felt in it an exceedingly distressing pulsation, even
continuing several minutes after micturition, together with constantly
increasing tenesmus vesicæ; the distress was relieved by rapidly
drinking a large quantity of water, but especially by strong compression
of the glans penis with the finger, the longer it lasted the more easily
relieved; this appeared for the last times one month after commencing
the last proving, after a copious dinner, and then disappeared entirely,
[14a]. ►
Micturition.► Throughout
the proving an increased activity of the kidneys was manifested; the
amount of urine passed daily was larger than the fluid drink, which
might be explained by the temperature of the season; the color of the
urine changed during the last six days of the proving from a deep
wine-yellow to reddish; its sp. gr. rose, with some variations, from
1005 to 1025, the reaction always acid, but towards the end of the
proving only slightly so, [13]. ► On several different days perceived urine
in quantity, more colorless that usual, accompanied by a sensation of
prostration and relaxation, rendering him extremely nervous, [12]. [430.]► *Involuntary urination, especially by
day, [1]. ► Occasional slight, involuntary discharge
of urine when standing, [12]. ► Involuntary wetting the bed, at night

Urine.► Urine
light-colored and depositing a whitish sediment, [22]. ► Urine
dark yellow (second and third days), [19].
► It makes the urine blood-red
plentifully charged with blood-corpuscles, [24]. ► Sp.
gr. of the urine rose from 1005 or 1010 to 1025, and the straw-yellow
color gradually changed during the first proving to a wine-yellow and
reddish, [14a]. ► A sediment in the urine appeared on the
third day, [17]. ► Increased mucous secretion in the urinary
passages, as shown by the turbidity of the urine, [14]. [440.]► Profuse mucous sediment in the urine

is only in those cases of suppression of the menses wherein the other
symptoms correspond homopathically to Iron
that this metal can be curative. -Hahnemann.] ►

power and a mental depression united, which rendered it nearly
impossible to rise and go through the duties of the day; was compelled
